Chapter 1108 Without him we will die

Among all the personnel arrangements of the Ministry of National Defense, a very important proposal was that the Sixth General Office of the Military Affairs Department was assigned to the sixth General Office of the Military Affairs Department, and as the Minister of National Defense, he himself assigned three deputy heads of national defense, Sa Zhenbing, Zhang Zuolin and Jiang Fangzhen. Among the Sixth General Office of the Ministry of National Defense, Wu Peifu, Chief of Staff, Ren Yuanxing, Chief of Staff, Ren Yuanxing, Chief of Logistics, Mi Shaobai, Deputy Chief of Logistics, Zhao Jiacheng, Liu Qingen, Chief of Security, Gai Tianjiu, Deputy Chief of Security, Liu Xiang, Luo Hao, Chief of Military Affairs, Zhu Yongquan, Deputy Chief of Military Affairs, Xu Youqian, Pu Ding, Chief of Coast Guard, Chief of Coast Guard, Ren Guodong, Li Dingxin, Chief of Mainland Aviation, Lu Rongting, Chief of Land Aviation, Luo Haiquan, and Li Ruyan.

As for upgrading the Coast Guard Headquarters and the Army Aviation Headquarters to the Navy and Air Force, it was suspended under the admonition of Jiang Fangzhen. At this time, the Ministry of National Defense should not attract wind. Due to the closure of customs, China has been stared by the great powers. If a navy is established at this time, it may cause siege by the great powers. The upgrade of the Air Force is entirely due to insufficient hardware and aircraft technology restrictions.

After Wang Maoru's personnel adjustment to the Ministry of National Defense, the power of the department's supervisors will be further restricted and controlled, and the dual deputy position model will also become the standard model for the Ministry of National Defense and even other departments in the future.

After stabilizing the personnel of the Ministry of National Defense, a meeting of the National Defense Strategy Research Group was held. At the meeting, Wang Maoru titled Beiyang veteran Sa Zhenbing as the first deputy, and took over as the position of the Chief of Defense after Wang Maoru resigned. Wang Maoru was preparing to run for military election for the President. Everyone knew that no one opposed it at this time. The strategic research group was held by 18 government supervisors of six departments and three deputy defense ministers. After Wang Maoru resigned, Sa Zhenbing took over as the Chief of Defense and was also automatically removed from the strategic research group. The original intention of the establishment of the National Defense Strategy Research Group was to prevent the Chief of Defense from being too powerful and review and terminate the decision of the Minister of National Defense. It was natural that Sa Zhenbing left the National Defense Strategy Research Group. The three-person team leader was originally Sa Zhenbing, Jiang Fangzhen and Mi Shaobai. After Sa Zhenbing left, Zhang Zuolin took over as Sa Zhenbing and became the new team leader.

After the meeting, Deputy Chief of Staff Ren Yuanxing reported to Wang Maoru that the pilot reform of the National Defense Forces was completed, that is, the reform of the Ghost Car Corps in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Military Region has been prepared, and the new military system will be based on the A Division, B Division and Special Division as the standards. The Ghost Car Corps will become the Eighth Army, and its name remains unchanged. The military district garrison capital and surrounding areas of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang region. The Eighth Army is under its jurisdiction of 22 (Tians A) Infantry Division, 23 (Tians A) Infantry Division, 24 (Tians A) Infantry Division. The 8th Armored Division, 2nd Airborne Division, and 53rd (Tians B) Infantry Division, among which the Armored Division and Airborne Division have only one name. At present, the equipment only has infantry equipment. According to Wang Maoru's requirements, human- and other equipment, the entire Eighth Army Ghost Car Corps will be composed of 30 regiments, including a total of 70,000 logistics personnel, after the reform.

The highest military commander of the Eighth Army is still called the Legion Commander, and Wang Qiyuan is the deputy commander of the Legion consists of Li Qingyi, Guo Bulu and Rong Hai. These three are Wang Maoru's absolute confidants. It can be seen that among the garrison troops stationed in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang area, there will never be any ambitious people like Feng Yuxiang. Although Han Linchun, Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army and Xue Jianxun, Deputy Chief of Staff, are not Wang Maoru's absolute confidants, they have no doubt about their loyalty after following Wang Maoru.

Because the brigade-level transition unit was abolished, the former division commanders and deputy division commanders of the former division commanders will serve as heads of various departments of the group army, most of whom are the deputy commanders of the corps, and a small number are the chief of staff of the corps. It can be said that although these former division commanders no longer directly command the army, as the group army, they can still assist the corps commanders in command and combat, and their ranks have been promoted to the first level. Wang Maoru did not treat them unfairly.

Seeing that the personnel composition and troops were properly distributed, but the equipment was lacking, which needed to be gradually improved, Wang Maoru asked the Ghost Car Corps to carry out pilot military reform with a big stroke.

Subsequently, the Maozi Heimen of the Fifth Corps, the Fifth Corps of the Zhuque Legion, stationed in Jilin, Liaoning, also applied for military system reform. Because they faced the dual pressures of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Japanese Korean Army, Wang Maoru considered as appropriate to believe that the reform of the Ministry was crucial. In the future, there might be a phenomenon of accidents in China and Japan. The earlier the reform of the Zhuque Legion Army system, the more comfortable this part will be in the future.

Under the leadership of Ren Yuanxing, the Fifth Army was established on the basis of the Fifth Army, with its full name being the Fifth Army Suzaku Legion, which consists of the 13th (A) Infantry Division, the 14th (A) Infantry Division, the 15th (A) Infantry Division, the 4th Armored Division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, and the 48th (B) Infantry Division, a total of 6 divisions, 30 regiments and 70,000 people. The special division of the Fifth Army only has the equipment of the cavalry division in one step, and there was originally a cavalry division. After it was replaced by the special division, nearly a thousand war horses were needed. Mao Ziping couldn't bear to have these war horses sold and become slow horses, so he divided part of each infantry division to use for reconnaissance. In the Northeast region surrounded by heavy snow, war horses were much more useful than cars.

Wang Maoru refused the application of other legions, and replied that these two legions were just trying to reform and blindly expanding and accelerating the reform of the military system would inevitably trigger adverse reactions from the National Defense Forces, and find shortcomings in the reform and improve them. Wang Maoru gave Ren Yuanxing full authority to be responsible for this military system reform, which shows his attitude towards him entrusting important responsibilities.

On the other hand, as the fight against the epidemic has entered the third stage, Minister of Health Wang Maoru announced that the temporary Ministry of Health will be dissolved soon. The task of the fight against the epidemic will be handed over to the health department of various provinces for supervision and co-organized by the police departments, especially the five provinces of Liaoning, Zhili, Shandong, Zhejiang and Guangdong, which are still ill and epidemic-related.

China also immediately announced that it would lift the ban and fully restore the right to move civil liberties.

Of course, it is time. Now the Chinese people have begun to harvest the autumn harvest in full. The agricultural machinery ordered from Japan has also arrived in China. They began to first carry out harvesting operations on the northern plains, especially the large landlord farms. Using agricultural harvesting technology to harvest crops is not only convenient and fast, but also saves money. This has allowed the large landlords and farmers to see the benefits of agricultural modernization. But the disadvantage is that a large number of tenant farmers were driven out of the farm by the farmers. With machinery, the role of tenant farmers seemed to have become much smaller at once. The rich landlords themselves took the initiative to buy machinery such as tractors and harvesters, which was enough to meet the workload of twenty strong laborers. They also only ate diesel and never complained about hard work.

Therefore, a large number of wealthy laborers gradually emerged in various places. The acting chief of agriculture and forestry, Lin Jiwen, immediately reported to Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi. Tang Shaoyi immediately discussed with Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with, road construction."

“Build a railway?”

"No, build highways and sand and stone official roads." Wang Maoru said, "Build four lanes between provinces, namely, seventeen meters wide official roads, thirteen meters wide official roads between counties, and ten meters wide official roads between towns. Wherever there are more wealthy laborers, you will first build the official roads."

"But where does this money come from?"

"Whoever uses the official road to make it easier for him to pay the money."

"Reply to Lijin?" Tang Shaoyi said in surprise: "It's inappropriate, inappropriate. After the country is unified, the lijin has been gradually abolished. Now it is open to the whole country. How can there be a reason to still collect lijin? Rampantly restoring lijin will definitely cause people's dissatisfaction."

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Prime Minister, wait, after hearing what I said, I built the official road because of the surplus of labor in some parts of the country, and the surplus of labor is due to agricultural modernization. The mechanical transportation of agricultural modernization must be transported by the official road, right? Since it is transported by the official road, vehicles driving on the official road must pay the official road maintenance fee. Those who can afford machinery and vehicles are all rich families. Rich families can pull a hair on their bodies to offset the taxes of a hundred poor people. Why bother with the poor people?"

Tang Shaoyi frowned and said, "It's still inappropriate, it's inappropriate. This move will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among many landlords and gentry, believing that they will compete for profit with the people."

"Striving for profit with the people? Competing for profit with the people is not the government, but these gentry, don't worry, although it will be difficult at the beginning, as long as our policies remain unchanged and our confidence remains unshakable, don't listen to the wind and rain, and retreat when there is pressure. This matter will definitely be done. Not only agricultural vehicles have to pay fees, cars and trucks have to pay fees." Wang Maoru said, "All vehicles, government buses, and civilian vehicles in the country must pay pipeline maintenance fees. Except for military vehicles that do not need to pay fees, any vehicle with four wheels must pay fees."

Although Tang Shaoyi did not agree very much with Wang Maoru's work to solve the problem of surplus labor, he really couldn't think of other ways to increase employment to solve the work problems of these people. After all, these farmers didn't know anything except farming. Now that the autumn is approaching, it is not conducive to immigrating to the north to rush to the border, and the people themselves are somewhat resistant to immigrants rushing to the border.

On October 20, 12th year of the Republic of China, interim Minister of Health Wang Maoru announced the dissolution of the Ministry of Health and Epidemic Prevention. He will continue to serve as Minister of National Defense and no longer participate in politics. Major newspapers highly praised this, believing that Wang Maoru is a person who is not greedy for power and believes that if Wang Maoru is president, he will never be a dictator.

"The person who is most suitable for president in our hearts" - Yanjing Daily said.

"Who runs for president after victory in the fight against the epidemic begins?" - Shanghai Shen Daily.

"We don't recognize anyone except Wang Shangwu" - Jilin Times

"The president in your mind is..." - Wuhan Daily

Wang Maoru read the newspaper and couldn't help but feel happy. He said to himself: "Why is the content in this newspaper like the fat king in later generations? "We will die without you." He then called Li Ziwen, Minister of Culture, and scolded him: "I know you want to create public opinion effect for me, but I feel embarrassed if you do this." Li Ziwen immediately admitted his mistake and said: "Master Marshal, don't worry, I will pay attention next time and pay attention to the words."
